Deshaun Watson's injury confirmed as season-ending ACL tear

The worst fears about Deshaun Watson’s knee injury have been confirmed. Multiple sources, including ESPN’s Adam Schefter, have backed up Ian Rapoport’s initial report that the Texans standout rookie quarterback has a torn ACL.

The reigning AFC Offensive Player of the Month suffered the injury in a non-contact portion of Thursday’s practice.

The Texans face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and will now turn to Tom Savage at quarterback. Savage started Week 1 but was yanked at halftime in favor of Watson, who quickly proved to be one of the most dynamic players in the league. Watson leads the league in touchdown passes and has helped spark the Texans offense to the top of the league in scoring.
